Mr.. O'Brien said that he thanked them
again and again for their unexpected and
hospitable welcome. He regretted most
heartily tho eevority of the weather by
which their hospitality had been tested.
Then hespose OF the Irish spirit which il
was impossible to come in contact with
without feeling that Iraland'a cause yas
immortal and uucoHquerable. While he
would not then make anything of
speech, he would say that be was engaged
upon what was, to Bomo extent, perhaps,
dangerous miesion. Lord Lansdowue
has been chosen by the landlords as tho
pioneer and champion OF that body in the
work OF determination. They had not
been able to stem the torrent Of eviction
but they had been able 10 protect tho tan.
ants who had the pluck to adopt the plan
OF campaign and stand by 1t. ~
Five hundred Door teusnte had baan
ev'cted in three months Of this year in
Ireland, but not ono who adopted the plan
OF campaign had suffered, because the
tenants were fed snd maintained out Of
the. landlords' renta as long rs penny re-
malned. The consequence was that they
had made evictions expensive.

curran case test case, and he had come
here to make it g test case, too, and to
meet him on the steps of his own throne.
II Lord Lansdowne thought he could car.
ry on thoae evictions he (Mr. OBrien)
thought there were million OF Irish Ca.
nadians who would want to know the rea.
son why. He asked the Canadians to be
the judges. He then referred to the try-
ing timo in Ireland At present, but be
thought they mad leader on whom thew
could rely in Charles Stewart Parneli,
Never before were the people OF Ireland
